The Book of Joe

Episode 2 of 18

Animated comedy. Peter helps Joe realise his dream of publishing a book but things get out of hand when Peter takes over as author. Brian takes up running.

When Peter learns that Joe has been secretly working on a children's book about a disabled squirrel for years, he encourages Joe to try to get it published. Joe does indeed find a publisher, but chooses to have the book published under the pen name of David Chicago in order to keep his fellow police officers from teasing him about it. When Joe does a poor job at a public reading of his book, Peter jumps in with a more animated reading, enthralling the kids. And so Joe's publisher asks Peter to take over as the public face of David Chicago. This doesn't sit well with Joe, especially as Peter increasingly fails to honour the message of Joe's book.

Meanwhile, Brian pretends to be a jogger to impress a girl, but when he finds himself having to actually run while on a date, he experiences a euphoric runner's high for the first time - and becomes hooked on the feeling. Brian soon starts exercising to the extreme, and prepares to run a marathon, but his new-found health kick may not actually be all that healthy.
